well i stopped in and talked to Tim. He said he hasn't seen any on his lists for a while. Said he probably wouldn't be able to get any if they were because he never orders any. who knows.

They are definitely on the sea dwelling creatures list. I am able to access it. They are not cheap. Dave placed his order before I could ask him to order one.

most shops wont order high dollar items unless it is a pre paid special order... Rich ordered a few on time... nice size browned out ones and then people freak out when he wanted so much for them...... I think xster ended up getting a steal on them

They are not very hard to get, but you will, most of the time, pay for them.

We have been watching the price lists for a while and these are the first to be specifically listed. We are also watching for soli and echinophyllia.

Range from M 34.95 to XL 54.95.

That is cost or retail? The main issue is that these almost always come in browned out and take a long time to color.... unless someone is specifically looking for one... it is hard to sell it to the average joe for a benjamin or more

well i think we have 4 or 5 people here looking for one.. Sure we are willing to frag one up but I bet they could sell 2-3 in the area.

That is wholesale, so $75 to $120 retail and they will be brown.

Talk to a shop who deals with or has dealt with a "cherry picker". I promise they will get you one

Yeah, we can do that, but it feels like I got my cherry picked (in the wrong location).

I hear ya. Some of these pieces are just too much, ESPECIALLY if it comes from a cherry picker. Just depends on how bad you want it.

I'd take an entire efflo colony for about $100 or so. You figure they are selling 3 inch frags for $60 and then factor in shippoing. You get an odd shaped frag for the same price as an entire colony.

Although if you guys find one and want to split the cost I'm in.

Sounds like there is one in Foley. How much? Anybody Know?

Picking it up tomorrow

I was going to hold off until after the trip and he said he would hold it, But the cats out of the bag. I'll post some more "crappy" pics when I get her home.

I can talk his prices way down if we could get a large group order going, and for those who have seen what he has been getting lately, you know it would be worth it.
